If I Were A Boy

If I were a boy
Even just for a dayI’d roll outta bed in the morning
And throw on what I wanted then go
Drink beer with the guys
And chase after girlsI’d kick it with who I wanted
And I’d never get confronted for it.
Cause they’d stick up for me.
[Chorus]

If I were a boyI think I could understand
How it feels to love a girl
I swear I’d be a better man.
I’d listen to her
Cause I know how it hurts
When you lose the one you wanted
Cause he’s taken you for granted
And everything you had got destroyed
If I were a boyI could turn off my phone

Tell evveryone it’s broken
So they’d think that I was sleepin’ alone
I’d put myself first
And make the rules as I go
Cause I know that she’d be faithful
Waitin’ for me to come home (to come home)
(Chorus)
It’s a little too late for you to come back

Say its just a mistake
Think I’d forgive you like that
If you thought I would wait for you
You thought wrong
(Chorus)
But you’re just a boy

You don’t understand
Yeah you don’t understand
How it feels to love a girl someday
You wish you were a better man
You don’t listen to her
You don’t care how it hurts
Until you lose the one you wanted
Cause you’ve taken her for granted
And everything you have got destroyed
But you’re just a boy

A friend introduced this song to me and I immediately fell in love with it. Check out the video. And men out there, it just shows how it is to be in our shoes. We may be seem to be petty, annoying, irritating but at the end of the day, it's our love that you guys sometimes seem to find so transparent.
We take in every critique, demands, verbal punches and swollow them like a packet of nails that they are. Yet, that never seems enough. I'm not saying that all guys are like that. I've had my share of jerks and it's frustrating to be left to the side while thinking, where exactly had it went wrong. When did the love seemed insufficient. That loyalty, faithfullness and love just seemed so empty.

A surprise from Ayah. He suddenly asked me, 'Do you want to go to Scotland next year?' I said if possible, after my graduation. He simply said, ' I'd go ask my boss to pay for your air ticket.'. That made me so happy and have this wide grin. From all the rotten guys there are on this earth, it's still my father & uncle who seem so immaculate. =) So perfectly perfect. Now there's 2 men whom I know, know how to love so much.

Now's not the time to fall in love.
I've simply put it to a stop.
Until the right time comes.
Until he's the right one to meet Ayah and my uncle.
Then I'll fall in love.
